Gardener's Bloom Day

I'm posting a day early to Gardener's Bloom Day (where garden bloggers post photos of what is blooming in their gardens on the 15th of each month). I'm taking a break from showing roses, although you will find a few here, and posting photos of other bloomers.

Clematis "Betty Corning" was just planted last year and has a few blooms this year.

Phillip, it's stunning in your garden~I fell for Jerusalem Sage when I saw it in a garden at Malvern~it's on the must have list! Love the unknown iris~the color is delicious and You, know Phillip, sigh, this is a splendid post! gail

You have a lot of depth to your garden. I have heard of Jerusalem sage but haven't seen it blooming. Now I have to add it to my list of wanted plants!Do you ever tire of having folks tell you how beautiful your garden is? You have put a lot of loving care into your garden, and it shows! About the indigofera - I started with one plant, which has now spread as a ground cover over 500 square feet in my woodland garden. Is yours a well behaved shrub? Is so, it must be a different variety!

Oh, are you in for it with the Clematis 'Betty Corning.' Mine's about 3 years old and it's turning into a beast, trying to form an arch over the path to reach the crabapple tree. I can only imagine the jungle-like proportions it will reach in your garden. (My 'Snow Queen' Hydrangea is about 1/3 the size of yours.) Good thing Betty is so pretty. Can you detect a scent?I've long admired Iris 'Edith Wolford,' it's so distinctive.

Nice Phillip. Your garden appears to be about three weeks ahead of mine. I'm gauging it by the 'Paprika' yarrow as I have it too. Love your sweet flag iris. I don't have any. Perhaps I should. :) You help me by posting pics. Give me ideas.~~Dee
